PRIVACY POLICY.

Absolute Black Studio ("Absolute Black," "we," "us," or "our"), operating at absoluteblack.in, is a boutique digital product and software engineering studio. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personal data, client intellectual property, and proprietary codebase specifications. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store, process, and safeguard information when you visit our website, communicate with our team, or engage us for software engineering, design, and digital product services.

We collect information directly from you when you interact with our website or initiate a commercial engagement: • Project Inquiries & Contact Data: Name, corporate email address, organization name, project specifications, budget estimates, and communication logs submitted via contact forms or direct email (absoluteblackinc@gmail.com). • Technical Client Materials: Repository access, API credentials, infrastructure design specs, design system assets, and database schemas provided strictly under non-disclosure or service agreements for project execution. • Technical & Telemetry Data: Browser type, operating system, IP address, device viewport, referral URLs, and standard web server logs collected automatically for system performance, security auditing, and site optimization.

We process data solely for legitimate commercial, operational, and technical purposes: 1. Service Delivery & Product Engineering: Designing, architecting, developing, testing, and deploying custom websites, web applications, mobile software, ecommerce platforms, and autonomous AI agent workflows. 2. Client Communications & Support: Facilitating project updates, technical consultations, Statement of Work (SOW) negotiations, and technical support. 3. System Security & Optimization: Monitoring server stability, diagnosing build/deployment issues, preventing unauthorized access, and maintaining infrastructure security. 4. Compliance & Legal Obligations: Fulfilling tax, accounting, contractual, and regulatory requirements.

We treat client code, trade secrets, and product roadmap data with maximum confidentiality: • Strict Access Control: Access to client code repositories, staging servers, database environments, and deployment keys is strictly restricted to authorized engineering personnel working directly on the engagement. • No Third-Party Selling: We never sell, rent, license, or monetize client data, code, or user information to data brokers, advertisers, or unauthorized third parties. • NDA Compliance: All project engagements are governed by strict mutual non-disclosure and intellectual property assignment provisions.

For clients engaging us to build AI agents, LLM integrations, or automated workflow pipelines: • Isolated Environments: Data processed by custom AI agents is scoped strictly to designated API endpoints and isolated tenant database configurations. • Model Training Exclusions: We do not use proprietary client datasets or code to train public foundation models without explicit written authorization. • Third-Party LLM Providers: Where AI workflows rely on third-party AI model APIs (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Cloud Vertex AI), data transmission strictly adheres to enterprise zero-data-retention APIs and enterprise privacy policies.

We utilize trusted third-party cloud infrastructure providers to run our site and deliver client software. These providers process data under strict data protection terms: • Hosting & Cloud Infrastructure: Vercel, AWS, Cloudflare, Supabase, and GCP for web hosting, serverless functions, and database storage. • Analytics & Diagnostic Tools: Privacy-focused analytics tools and monitoring software to audit performance and site reliability. • Legal Disclosure: We may disclose data if required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulation, or to protect the rights, property, and security of Absolute Black, our clients, or the public.

We implement modern technical, organizational, and security measures to guard against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction: • Encrypted Transmissions: Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3/HTTPS) for all web communications and API endpoints. • Key Management: Encrypted environment variables, secret managers, and zero-trust access protocols for staging and production environments. • Least-Privilege Access: Engineering access is scoped strictly on a need-to-know basis using multi-factor authentication (MFA).

We retain personal and project data only for as long as necessary to fulfill project requirements, resolve disputes, or comply with statutory retention periods. Depending on your jurisdiction (including GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and relevant data protection laws), you possess rights to: • Request access to personal data held by us. • Request correction or update of inaccurate data. • Request erasure ("Right to be forgotten") of personal data, subject to legal retention duties. • Object to or restrict processing of your data. To exercise these rights, submit a written request to absoluteblackinc@gmail.com.

Our website utilizes minimal essential cookies and localized state storage to remember user preferences (such as audio preferences or theme settings). We do not use intrusive cross-site tracking cookies or third-party ad pixels.
